Ausangate Snow-Capped Mountain

On this tour, we will see the highest snow-capped mountain in all of Peru, Ausangate, which stands at an altitude of 6,390 meters.

If you choose the electric bike option, you’ll enjoy the same 7 Lakes circuit, equipped with the best assistance motor to easily ascend any of the Andes mountains.

Lines and Wheels of Hayuni or Pallay Orq’o

This attraction is located in the Hayuni community, in the Quiquijana district. These are geological phenomena featuring black lines on the mountain and wheel-shaped stones, which are optional to visit.

What are Pallay Orq’o, Wheels, and Lines of Hayuni?

The lines and wheels are natural geographic formations made up of sandstone, limestone, gravel, and andesite stones with sediments, creating this incredible natural formation of lines.

The wheels of Hayuni are circular stones shaped like tires that can be found along the lines; this is also optional to visit.
